To close off the weekend, here's a small #OSINT thread in which I explain how I geolocated these Israeli soldiers inside the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Jenin Refugee Camp using YouTube videos. Want to learn how to do the same? Make sure to read my following steps.
While it's difficult to find the location when filmed inside, it is not impossible. In a second video, we see one of the men inside of the mosque looking out of the window and notice that they are somewhere inside Jenin. The only question is: where?
Sometimes you might come across an image or video that you might think is impossible to geolocate. Take for example, this video that we found during our current ongoing investigation into the Israeli raid on Jenin in early July, 2023.
A lesson that I've learned that remains useful but might be forgotten by beginning researchers is that the press always takes photos afterwards when such an event happens. I usually take a visit across different news websites using search terms.
NEW | A monthslong investigation by @cnni in collaboration with @GFLocating and myself, based on analysis of videos from the pogrom in Huwara, exclusive testimony, interviews with eyewitnesses and journalists, shows Israeli soldiers did little to stop it. edition.cnn.com/2023/06/15/mid…
CNN found that, not only did the forces fail to stop the riots in Huwara, they did not protect residents as settlers set fire to Palestinian homes and businesses and blocked emergency services from responding.

Onlangs in gesprek geraakt met de Russische, ‘A’, een leeftijdsgenoot- en inwoner van een grote stad in dat land. Ze legde mij uit dat veel vrienden van haar leven in angst, mentale problemen ervaarde, omdat zij een andere mening hebben over “de speciale operatie” in Oekraïne. /1
De toegang tot de mediakanalen zijn dichtgeknepen. Jonge inwoners hebben hiervoor meerdere sluiproutes gevonden, maar de ouderen worden alleen voorzien van wat de Russische Federatie ze wil laten zien. Anderen geloven wat het Kremlin ze vertelt en staan dus achter Poetin. /2
